Sir Creep

Just stupid imho. Not sure if punk-ass is holding me responsible for scouring the entire site before coming back here to make a learned post. But given reaction to his post, maybe there are a plethora of morons around here (I know I know.... rhetorical). So I apologize for MY stupidity in opening this link first, not seeing an obit link, and commenting on that fact; THEN going elsewhere and seeing the obit posted. Oh woe is me and my newbie actions. SMFH SC

That was the 'hope against hope' part

And how about a hit for Sir Colin Meads to boot. Here we come! SC

Clearly the nod goes to Graham at this point. SC

The Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley, thought that her dying this day 10 years ago (age 87) would make people stop thinking she was a cunt. She was wrong.

Sir Creep has the Needs for Meads. *rubbing diabolical hands together awaiting scoring update* Edit - looks like msc had him too so there'll be no leapfrogging this day. Well done msc. And to Grim and Unknown and anyone else who had him.

wrong thread

Exxxxxxx cellent. Big push coming, I can feel it. Three hits for my DDP in a month and still got Overton and Elias (Joker) waiting in the wings. Top 20 not out of reach yet. SC

Here comes Cancel My Appointments, 1/3 a year to go! (Granted....need a QO and probably won't happen)

I think the lesson here is that if you are named Sonny, and someone else named Sonny has died, you better watch your Ps and Qs the next day.

"Who's on the cover of Madden' 'The Madden curse' msc, your wife's the smartest person who has ever posted here, albeit vicariously.

Shouldn't have been merged, what with his extensive medical woes, and just plain deserves his own on merit. Alas... SC

Good call except they were a day apart. Still, excellent observation! SC

Sonny Landham and Sonny Burgess on the same day! That may not happen again ... ever Was I the only one who noticed? See...it's that kind of impertinent detail that rests in my noggin. SC

Well you sent me searching....and 'frank'ly I don't think there is an audience for this 'song'. That said, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of the artist's rage. SC

I could (and was going to) say this exact sentence about a few of the names and was literally going to as I chose the formerly unchosen and presently unknown Ian St. John. Best of luck in the afterlife ISJ, whoever you are. SC

He's been on a couple teams in the DP I run. But yes it is somewhat of a stunner.

In my day tranny was something involving a vehicle. If you took the time to fix your own tranny and save $1500 (U.S. dollars), you would definitely feel gay the rest of the day.

Very interesting. Well in that case condolences for the passing of your acquaintance. SC

That's amazing...I had you pegged as a tranny, Toast.

I'm intrigued. As his obit mentions nothing of his musical output, how on earth did you know him and/or hear of his demise? Are you the president of the Larry LaPole & The Polecats fan club?

So no more Simon Says games

There goes my joker Asshole. (Edit I'm glad this is the first post on page 22 of this thread so the perp can stare at it for a while).

I know you're all up in it with the nationalistic jingoism....and though I claim no knowledge on the matter, I'll allow you to argue with the following: Early SUVs were descendants from commercial and military vehicles such as the World War II Jeep[14] and Land Rover.[15] The earliest examples of longer-wheelbase wagon-type cars were the Chevrolet Carryall Suburban (1935, RWD only), GAZ-61 (1938, 4×4), Willys Jeep Station Wagon (1948), Pobeda M-72 (GAZ-M20/1955), which Russian references credit as possibly being the first modern SUV (with unitary body rather than body-on-frame), International Harvester Travelall (1953), Land Rover Series II 109 (1958), and the International Harvester Scout 80 (1961). These were followed by the more 'modern' Jeep Wagoneer (1963), International Harvester Scout II (1971), Ford Bronco (1966), Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-55 (1968), the Chevrolet Blazer / GMC Jimmy (1969), and the Land Rover Range Rover (1970). The actual term "sport utility vehicle" did not come into wide popular usage until the late 1980s; many of these vehicles were marketed during their era as station wagons. According to Robert Casey, the transportation curator at the Henry Ford Museum, the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) was the first true sport utility vehicle in the modern understanding of the term.[16] Developed under the leadership of AMC's François Castaing and marketed to urban families as a substitute for a traditional car (and especially station wagons, which were still fairly popular at the time), the Cherokee had four-wheel drive in a more manageable size (compared to the full-size Wagoneer), as well as a plush interior resembling a station wagon.[16] With the introduction of more luxurious models and a much more powerful 4-liter engine, sales of the Cherokee increased even higher as the price of gasoline fell, and the term "sport utility vehicle" began to be used in the national press for the first time.[16] "The advent and immediate success of AMC/Jeep's compact four-door Cherokee turned the truck industry upside down."[17] SC https://books.google.com/books?id=4YaB2nQXEj8C
